Each year, Business Talent Group releases the High-End Independent Talent Report, looking across industries and business functions to analyze how business leaders deploy top independent talent to fill critical skill, expertise, and leadership gaps. Here are the key trends for CEOs and presidents in 2023.

To address near-term priorities and reinvent their companies for the future, these leaders are turning to on-demand talent to drive IT and tech transformation, develop sustainable growth strategies, improve organizational effectiveness, and fill interim roles at all leadership levels.
